15% VAT + customs ...

% is based on declared value

Thanks for the reply..

Lets suppose I paid £50 for 100 items, so will I be charged Vat on that price?

Yes You will be charged VAT and customs but under some circumstances customs may let it go and you wont pay anything :P as the value is very low

I believe anything uner £36 you don't pay any Duty or import VAT.

New regulations state that you have to pay import duty only on items worth more than 150 EUR
